Dear All,

Could someone explain to me the following:

pressing process of a 2 lbs cheese mold is :
1 hr at 15 lbs
2 hrs at 20 lbs
12 hrs at 30 lbs

How if I have a cheese mold of eg 5 lbs, what would be the pressure ?
is it double or is there a forula...

Thank your somuch for any advice,

Irma

I think that would depend on the dimensions
of the mold. The same force spread over
more area (for example, a wide mold) will be
weaker than if it were applied to a small
area (for example, a tall skinny mold).
